The jury is still out on photons. I am not convinced yet as to their reality, virtual one moment, not so the next. Wavelike one minute, particulate the next. Certainly not as in a single particle photon, but I might be convinced they are a large multitude of particles all traveling together. Maybe. But without doubt I am certain they are not the force carrier of the EM force. They are waste product of energy generation (you may apply interaction with aether here if you wish, or not). They are an effect, not a cause. The very limit that matter imposes upon them by controlling its propagation speed confirms this.Again the work done on a charge traveling in a closed loop is zero and one traveling in a straight line = x [link to farside.ph.utexas.edu] This is from the textbooks, not me.Does or does not the same photons strike the charge in the closed loop as the one moving in the straight line? So if the force carrier of the EM force is the photon, then why does this transfer of energy only seem to occur for the charge moving in a closed loop? Since both receive photons, photons can not be part of the reason, hence not the force carrier. The only difference is direction relative to the electric and magnetic field.

A cobra uncoils from his lower right forearm, and the crescent moon and a skull are on his crest. He dances within an arch of flames. This dance is called the Dance of Bliss, aananda taandavam.

The upper right hand holds a small drum shaped like an hourglass. A specific hand gesture (mudra) called is used to hold the drum. It symbolizes sound originating creation or the beat of the drum is the passage of time.

The upper left hand contains Agni or fire, which signifies destruction. The opposing concepts in the upper hands show the counterpoise of creation and destruction or the fire of life.

The second right hand shows the Abhaya mudra (meaning fearlessness in Sanskrit), bestowing protection from both evil and ignorance to those who follow the righteousness of dharma.

The second left hand points towards the raised foot which signifies upliftment and liberation. It also points to the left foot with the sign of the elephant which leads the way through the jungle of ignorance.

The dwarf on which Nataraja dances is the demon Apasmara (Muyalaka, as known in Tamil), which symbolises Shiva's victory over ignorance. It also represents the passage of spirit from the divine into material.

As the Lord of Dance, Nataraja, Shiva performs the tandava, the dance in which the universe is created, maintained, and dissolved. Shiva's long, matted tresses, usually piled up in a knot, loosen during the dance and crash into the heavenly bodies, knocking them off course or destroying them utterly.

The surrounding flames represent the manifest Universe. The snake swirling around his waist is kundalini, the Shakti or divine force thought to reside within everything. This also parallels the cords of life worn by the Brahmins to represent the second rebirth.

The stoic face of Shiva represents his neutrality, thus being in balance.
